Title: Improvements in and relating to laundering compositions
IPC: C11D1/22
Filed: 1957-09-20
Abstract: A laundering composition giving an alkaline solution comprises one or more compounds selected from: non-ionic organic synthetic detergents, alkali metal salts of anionic organic synthetic detergents and alkali metal salts of fatty acids containing from 8 to 20 carbon atoms and at least 0,0014% by weight of a water soluble alkali metal salt of a compound of the formula:-  <FORM:0850531/IV (c)/1> The essential detergents and optional components of the composition are selected from sodium alkyl benzene sulphonate (the alkyl group having from 9 to 15 C atoms and especially that derived from polypropylene and averaging 12 C atoms per molecule), sodium and potassium alkyl glyceryl ether sulphonates (obtained by reacting epichlorhydrin and alcohols from coconut oil containing from 10 to 14 C atoms or from tallow, sulphonating and neutralizing), sodium and potassium sulphates of alcohols obtained by reduction of glycerides of tallow or coconut oil, sodium coconut oil fatty acid monoglyceride sulphates and sulphonates, sodium salts of sulphuric acid esters of the reaction product of one mole of tallow or coconut oil alcohols and three moles of ethylene oxide, potassium toluene sulphonate; condensation products of ethylene oxide with propylene oxide and propylene glycol, condensates of ethylene oxide and alkyl phenols having straight or branched chain alkyl groups of 6 to 12 C atoms e.g. as obtained from polypropylene, diisobutylene, octane or nonane, condensates of ethylene oxide with propylene oxide reaction products with ethylene diamine, condensates of aliphatic alcohols of 8 to 18 C atoms with ethylene oxide; sodium or potassium soaps of tallow, grease, coconut oil and palm oil; sodium and potassium tripolyphosphate, pyrophosphate and higher polyphosphates; sodium sulphate, chloride, carbonate and silicate; the monoethanolamide of coconut oil fatty acids, carboxymethyl cellulose, perfume, benzotriazole, ethylene thiourea, tarnish inhibitors described in Specification 652,339, glycerine; and other fluorescent brightening compounds, e.g. sodium 4, 41-bis (4, 6-dianilino -striazinyl -2- amino) -2, 21 stilbene disulphonate and sodium -2- sulpho -4- (2-naphtho [1, 2] triazolyl) stilbene.  The laundering of cotton, nylon, viscose and acetate rayons, silk, wool and acrylonitrile goods is mentioned.ALSO:A laundering composition giving an alkaline solution comprises one or more compounds selected from: non-ionic organic synthetic detergents, alkali metal salts of anionic organic synthetic detergents and alkali metal salts of fatty acids containing from 8 to 20 carbon atoms and at least 0.0014% by weight of a water soluble alkali metal salt of a compound of the formula <FORM:0850531/III/1> The essential detergents and optional components of the composition are selected from sodium alkyl benzene sulphonate (the alkyl group having from 9 to 15 C atoms and especially that derived from polypropylene and averaging 12 C atoms per molecule), sodium and potassium alkyl glyceryl ether sulphonates (obtained by reacting epichlorhydrin and the alcohols from coconut oil containing from 10 to 14 C atoms or from tallow), sodium and potassium sulphates of alcohols obtained by reduction of glycerides of tallow or coconut oil, sodium coconut oil fatty acid monoglyceride sulphates and sulphonates, sodium salts of sulphuric acid esters of the reaction product of one mole of tallow or coconut oil alcohols and three moles of ethylene oxide, potassium toluene sulphonate; condensation products of ethylene oxide with propylene oxide and propylene glycol, condensates of ethylene oxide and alkyl phenols, having straight or branched chain alkyl groups of 6 to 12 C atoms e.g. as obtained from polypropylene, diisobutylene, octane or nonane, condensates of ethylene oxide with propylene oxide reaction products with ethylene diamine, condensates of aliphatic alcohols of 8 to 18 C atoms with ethylene oxide; sodium or potassium soaps of tallow, grease, coconut oil and palm oil; sodium and potassium tripolyphosphate, pyrophosphate and higher polyphosphates; sodium sulphate, chloride, carbonate and silicate; the monoethanolamide of coconut oil fatty acids, carboxy methyl cellulose, perfume, benzotriazole, ethylene thiourea, tarnish inhibitors described in Specification 652,339, glycerine; and other fluorescent brightening compounds, e.g. sodium 4,41 bis (4,6-dianilino-s-triazinyl-2-amino) -2,21 stilbene disulphonate and sodium-2-sulpho-4-(2-naphtho[1,2]triazolyl) stilbene.
